BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a compound useful for manufacturing salacinol and a method for manufacturing the compound. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing salacinol, methods for protecting and deprotecting a diol group, and a protective agent for a diol group.

2. Description of the Related Art

In traditional Indian medicine, Salacia reticulata which is a climbing tree of the genus Salacia is used for treating diabetes. Salacinol is a component contained in plants of the genus Salacia such as Salacia reticulata and has a strong α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (Tetrahedron Letters, Vol. 38, No. 48, pp. 8367-8370 (1997)). Salacinol is obtained from, for example, extracts of plants of the genus Salacia (JP3030008B). However, the supply of plants of the genus Salacia is small, and it is difficult to easily obtain the plants. Therefore, methods for manufacturing salacinol and analogs thereof by synthesis are being investigated in various ways (JP5053494B, JP4939934B, and JP2002-179673A).

JP5053494B describes a manufacturing method in which a cyclic sulfuric acid ester protected with a benzylidene group is reacted with a thioarabinitol derivative protected with a benzyl group.

JP4939934B describes a manufacturing method in which a cyclic sulfuric acid ester protected with a benzylidene group is reacted with a thioarabinitol derivative protected with a benzyl group.

JP2002-179673A describes a manufacturing method in which a cyclic sulfuric acid ester protected with an isopropylidene group is reacted with thio-D-arabinitol.

In a case where organic synthesis is performed using a compound having a functional group such as an amino group, a hydroxy group, or a carboxy group, in order to prevent the functional group from affecting the reaction, generally, the functional group is protected. Furthermore, in a case where the number of functional groups is 2 or greater, in order to selectively came only an intended functional group to react, other functional groups are protected.

A protective group not only needs to stably protect a target functional group but also needs to be easily removed if necessary. Therefore, in organic synthesis, it is important to deprotect only a protective group bonded to a specific functional group under appropriate conditions.

For example, as protective groups for an amino group, a hydroxy group, or a carboxy group, various protective groups have been developed (Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4^(th) edition, John Wiley & Sons, INC (2007)). Furthermore, as protective groups for a 1,2-diol group or a 1,3-diol group (hereinafter, referred to as a “diol group” in some cases), a cyclic acetal, a cyclic ketal, a cyclic orthoester, and the like are known.

As a protective group for a diol group, an alkoxycarbonylethylidene group is known (Organic Letters, Vol. 2. No. 18, pp. 2809-2811 (2000)).

Meanwhile, a method for manufacturing diethyl 2-(5-pentyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)malonate by reacting 2-(hydroxymethyl)heptanol with diethyl ethoxymethylene malonate in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid is known (DE19525314B).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The method described in JP5053494B has defects such as (1) it has a low yield, and (2) a complicated operation is required because a hydrogenation reaction is used as a deprotection reaction. This is not satisfactory method.

The method described in JP49399934B has defects such as (1) hexafluoroisopropanol harmful to humans and imposing a great environmental load is used as a reaction solvent. This is not a satisfactory method.

The method described is JP2002-179673A had defects such as (1) it has a low yield, and (2) the reaction time is long. This is not a satisfactory method.

Furthermore, as described in Organic Letters, Vol. 2, No. 18, pp. 2809-2811 (2000), for example, a diol group can be protected with an alkoxycarbonylethylidene group in the presence of a base. However, the deprotection reaction has defects such as (1) an excess of base is necessary, and (2) heating is required. In addition, the types of protective group for a diol group are less diverse than the types of protective group for a hydroxy group.

In DE19525314B, the obtained diethyl 2-(5-pentyl-1,3-dioxan-2-yl)malonate is then reduced and derivatized into other compounds. This method does not aim to protect a diol group.

The methods for manufacturing salacinol in the related art have problems such as (1) they have a low yield, (2) a complicated operation is required, (3) a solvent harmful to humans and imposing a great environmental load is used, and (4) the reaction time is long. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a better industrial manufacturing method of salacinol and methods for protecting and deprotecting a diol group.

An object of the present invention is to provide a novel compound useful for manufacturing salacinol and a novel method for manufacturing salacinol.

Another object of the present invention is to provide methods for protecting and deprotecting a diol group and a protective agent for a diol group that are useful for manufacturing salacinol or the like.

Under the circumstances described above, the inventors of the present invention repeated intensive investigation. As a result, they obtained knowledge that a compound represented by Formula (1) and a compound represented by Formula (7a) are intermediates useful for manufacturing salacinol. The inventory of the present invention also obtained knowledge that salacinol can be industrially manufactured from a compound represented by Formula (1a) and a compound represented by Formula (7a). Furthermore, the inventors of the present invention found methods for protecting and deprotecting a diol group that are useful for manufacturing salacinol or the like.
